A Perfect Ganesh

About A Perfect Ganesh, Mark Peikert of Back Stage said:

The current revival of Terrence McNally's A Perfect Ganesh still gleams with occasional flashes of incandescent stage magic...The performances from [Ellen] Barry and [Charlotte] Hampden keep our attention riveted to these two innocents abroad...A Perfect Ganesh could become a must see revival.

The Guest at Central Park West

About The Guest at Central Park West, Lisa Jo Sagolla of Back Stage (Read the whole review) said:

A well-constructed drama...Simon's play, directed by Thomas Coté, hits all the right notes...a scrumptious set designed by Craig Napoliello...startling conflicts and frightening revelations...John Marshall Jones is sensational...Jed Dickson is spot-on...with her poignantly comic portrayal of the drunken Jennifer, it's Tracy Newirth who steals our hearts.


acting of the three principals is impeccable

About When It Rains, Mark Dundas Wood, Back Stage said:

Besides being an engrossing character study, Rahti Gorfien's fine new drama is truly suspenseful ... The acting of the three principals is impeccable...

The Tragedie Of Macbeth

About The Tragedie Of Macbeth, Ron Cohen of Back Stage (Read the whole review) said:

An immensely effective show...it virtually revels in its trust in the Bard to deliver the goods through soaring language and grand storytelling that age cannot wither, especially when augmented with knowing stagecraft. Director Charles E. Gerber guides his cast in a panoply of deftly spoken and convincing performances.

About The Blue Carbuncle with Sherlock Holmes & The Gift of the Magi, Nancy Ellen Shore of Back Stage (Critic's Pick) (Read the whole review) said:

I sincerely hope theatregoers will find time to enjoy this delightful offering...it overflows with the true spirit of the season...cleverly adapted by Andrew Joffe and imaginatively staged by Kathleen Brant...complete with jubilant carolers and a street-corner violinist...with a talented 12-member ensemble in a prelude of eight contemporary holiday songs, arranged and directed by Jeffrey Buchsbaum.
